Is there any reason why he doesn't want her to know he's in theatre?

Has he said why he doesn't want to?

Not that my SO has told me, but I haven’t gotten many details from them about it yet.

I say maybe just tell the boyfriend straight to his face that "Hey, my friend has trust issues and you're keeping something from her, please try and fix that" or smth

Okay, well, if it's something like he's embarrassed about it, he's going to have to eventually work up the courage to tell her, but of course, mention that insecurity so she's less likely to be upset he didn't say anything.
But if it's something wacky like she doesn't want him doing theatre, that's a whole other beast.

Yeah, I’ll probably do that. Sorry just needed to vent there for a sec.

Reed's not wrong either- just be sensitive in how you say it of course, bc your friend might not want you just saying she has trust issues.

Yeah I think it’s just something he’s embarrassed about.
She definitely wouldn’t mind, she’s also a theater kid.

You're good! Sometimes it really helps to just put it out there, even if you already know what to do.

Yeah he’s already aware of this, they’ve been friends for a long time

Thanks for all the advice guys!

This might sound weird, but cutting my hair short has made femininity more… comfortable for me? Also I feel freer and more versatile in my gender expression bc I don't have to pull it back in that dummy ponytail that doesn't look quite masc enough.
It looks so damn good though. I haven't had a haircut I've liked this much ever, I don't think.

Anyways, starting to draw a new au for my main fandom because I have no self control

Mood lmao, which fandom?

Ayyyy I feel the same! Coming to terms with my identity and flaunting it helps me feel more comfortable expressing myself in a feminine way too.

every single one of them

You know when you’re kinda just lost with your gender identity and when you try and explain what’s going on it makes everyone else just as confused as you and you want them to say something supportive but they have no idea what?
Yeah I’m low-key having panic attacks every day because everything is just wrong

bro yes
am i actually genderflux or do I just want to impersonate people I like???
good question

With me it’s a case of I would kill to be a C cup in bra sizes, not the GG that I am. I want to be small enough to bind properly or even just wear a sports bra.
I don’t always want male genitalia, so I’m find without the surgery, but I want something—anything—that stops me from having periods because, to me, it shouldn’t happen. That’s not the correct me.
I can’t even explain this to my family because I don’t think they would listen to me, even though I have shown multiple signs of being extremely unhappy with my body.

Idk how much this'll help, but you could totally go on birth control to lighten or even stop your period for several months at a time. There might be some spotting but that's not a full period, so it's not as big of a deal to most people.
Not sure how easily you could get access to it (you're in the UK, yeah?), but it could be a good option.

And you can always lie to your family and say you want birth control for other reasons, like period pain or something, if that's an issue

what if I came out to my parents as nonbinary via twitter. I’ve taught them about how people put their pronouns in their bio for easier reference (I have they/them in mine, so they’d both be able to easily read it), and I have easy confirmation that they’d be supportive of it since I’ve had discussions with them already on non-binary people (and that not every non-binary person uses they/them, or solely they them anyways; in fact I’ve taught them about that. I think most of their knowledge originally came from me talking about it to them, but I never directly mentioned myself. I’d still be…surprised if they didn’t suspect anything considering how often I bring it up)

And I have the asexual pride flag in my pfp although I don’t know if they would recognize the flag (I’ve only spoken to them on what asexuality is so far)

All I would really need to do is follow them

Either way, I’m nervous (I was going to let coming out as asexual during June, aka Pride Month, but I’m unsure)

Wait if I follow them they might see my results for the AOT kin quiz so hmm uhh rethinking this plan right now…

alright, hitting the follow button.

Good luck!!

Good luck, Mojack!
